Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration

Status: Recruiting

Location: See location...

Intervention Type: Device

Study Type: Observational

SUMMARY

The primary goals of this study are to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (blood vessel mapping) to: 1. diagnose the presence of new blood vessels in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) 2. evaluate patients undergoing treatment for wet AMD 3. determine if reduced flow to the choroid is a risk factor for developing wet AMD.

Treatments

Newly-diagnosed, untreated wet AMD

This group will be adults newly diagnosed with wet AMD who have not undergone any treatment for the condition. Their data will be gathered only once, prior to treatment.

Wet AMD undergoing as-needed treatment

This group will be adults undergoing treatment as-needed for wet AMD. They will be followed monthly over the course of 1 year.

High-risk eyes

This group will be adults with wet AMD in one eye and findings of dry AMD in the other. The eye with dry AMD will be followed every 6 months for 3 years.

Wet AMD undergoing a treat and extend strategy

This group will be adults with wet AMD undergoing treatment under the treat and extend strategy. (The treat and extend strategy increases the intervals between treatments as long as the macula remains dry.) They will be followed over the course of 1 year with extra imaging before extending follow-up intervals.
